Cougars on the Prowl
After posting three consecutive losses to USC, Oregon State and Utah, the Cougars have rebounded with wins against Stanford and Arizona State.
We’re prepared to forgive their losses against USC and Utah, who are ranked. They almost got the better of Utah when losing 21-17, so that was a top effort in defeat and it translated to a massive win and spread cover against Stanford.
They put the Cardinal to bed with a 52-14 win on the road, so they’re playing well as they face another tough road game against Arizona.
Washington State is 7-3 against the spread and has covered the number in its last three games. The Cougars were favored in two of those games, so they’re comfortable playing as the favorite.
The sportsbook has them at a modest -4, which is a fair line given their current form.
Wildcats Find Groove
It was a dire time for the Wildcats after losing four games on the bounce, but a huge upset win over UCLA holds them in good stead.
Despite being +20 underdogs with Las Vegas lines, the Wildcats won 34-28 against the Bruins, who were ranked 12th in the nation at the time.
It was a shock victory and one that could spur the Wildcats on for more success. They have a 6-4 ATS record, so bettors have cashed in despite the moderate win/loss record. Therefore, getting +4 at home could be seen as a value line.
“That was a big win for the program. It meant a lot,” coach Jedd Fisch said. “That was a fun game. It was pretty good to hold that team to 28 points. That is one of the top five offenses in college football.”
Jayden de Laura was terrific and he’s good enough to keep Arizona in the hunt for a bowl spot. They need to beat Washington State to stay in the hunt, but the defense needs to do better than allow an average of 37.2 points per game.
